GWM CyberP!ckup Is A 6x6 Monstrosity Just Begging For A Trademark Lawsuit

Great Wall Motors (GWM) has unveiled a six-wheeler concept truck that makes the GMC Hummer EV Pickup look normal. The oddly-named CyberP!ckup 6x6 was co-developed by GWM and Chaojing Motors, another Chinese manufacturer. Based on the little-known Shanhai Cannon, this monstrous pickup is able to crush any terrain with six 18-inch wheels wrapped up in Cooper Discoverer AT3 off-road rubber.

The addition of a third axle has transformed what was once an underwhelming truck into a seriously menacing machine. Underneath, you'll find strengthened off-road suspension, along with nitrogen shock absorbers and five electronic differential locks.

While a torque-rich V8 powertrain would be fitting, the CyberP!ckup 6x6 is fitted with a thoroughly modern plug-in hybrid setup. Paired with an electric motor, the twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 produces 510 horsepower and 552 lb-ft of torque. According to GWM, the six-wheeler can travel 31 miles on electric power alone.

We assume this has been estimated using the China Light Duty Vehicle Test Cycle (CLTC), so we expect a more conservative figure in real-world use. Interestingly, GWM says the 6x6 has been designed to accommodate a fully-electric drivetrain and even a hydrogen powertrain. Whether these options make it to production remains to be seen.

Aside from the addition of an extra axle, GWM and Chaojing Motors have modified the exterior with several add-ons. Up front, the fascia benefits from a distinctive front bumper, a sportier mesh grille, new headlight clusters (with a light bar that extends into the grille), and a brawnier hood with aggressive outlets.

Other changes include a split-opening tailgate, a sports bar, and a variety of off-roading accessories. So is this just a concept designed to turn heads? Yes. But, according to CarExpert, GWM is interested in putting this behemoth into production.
